Dairy Cottage was amazing and finished to a very high standard. Was very clean when we arrived and lots of little 'extras' including milk and tooth brush just in case we'd forgotten anything.
Fishing was excellent with plenty of decent carp and big bream pulled out. Again, attention to detail with facility to 'dip' nets and mats and fence all around.
The gated s accommodation meant we were secure at all times as only possible to gain entry via the 'key fob' provided.
We had an excellent break and will definitely be using again.

A fantastic stay at Barmston Farm.
Met Dana and Zane on arrival and are so welcoming and happy to talk about their holiday park. My 4th time and 1st with the new owners, they have put a lot hard work into making this a 5 star holiday park, adding their own personal touch. Myself and a pal came for a few days fishing and it was brilliant to be able to fish all four sides of the lake, so many nice carp was caught and never disappoints. You can’t fail to catch fish here. We stayed in fox cottage, very clean and tidy. It has everything you need and has Dana’s personal touch with even bath robes and slippers.Gas Bbq too which is a great touch. Will definitely return and was a pleasure to meet the both of you.
Thanks

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review Dwayne — it truly means a lot to us.
It was an absolute pleasure meeting you, and we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Barmston Farm. Hearing that this was your fourth visit, and your first with us as the new owners, makes your kind words even more special. We’ve put our hearts into making the park a welcoming and memorable place, so it’s fantastic to know you noticed the little touches.
We’re thrilled the fishing lived up to expectations (and looks like you had a great catch too!) — being able to enjoy all sides of the lake is something we’re really proud of. And it’s lovely to hear that Fox Cottage had everything you needed for a comfortable stay — we are so pleased you appreciated the robes, slippers, and BBQ touches!
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon for another relaxing and successful fishing trip.
Warm regards,
Dana & Zane

Stayed in Dairy cottage. Wonderfully peaceful, beautiful cottage. Nice big fishing pool
We have stayed here before, but the new owners have improved it greatly. All cottages have had a revamp and are gorgeous. The pool has had a great deal done to it. Cant praise it enough
Urge others to go and experience it themselves. They wont be disappointed

We travelled all the way from Australia to stay at Barmston Farm in Yorkshire, and it truly exceeded every expectation.
Otter Cottage is absolutely beautiful, a real home away from home. It’s incredibly comfortable, cosy, and thoughtfully set up with every amenity you could possibly need. You can tell a lot of care has gone into making guests feel welcome and relaxed from the moment you arrive.
The farm itself is just as wonderful. The fishing lake and surrounding grounds are peaceful and perfect for exploring, whether you're enjoying a quiet walk or simply soaking in the countryside.
One of the biggest highlights for our family was the animals. The gorgeous friendly sheep, the alpacas, and especially the baby pygmy goats were an absolute delight. They made the stay even more special and memorable.
Dana and Zane are fantastic hosts, so kind, welcoming, and always helpful while still giving you space to enjoy the farm at your own pace.
Barmston Farm is a truly special place, and we feel very lucky to have experienced it. We travelled a long way from Australia, and it was worth every kilometre. We would absolutely love to return one day.

We’re absolutely delighted that your journey all the way from Australia led you to us here at Barmston Farm, and even more so that your stay in Otter Cottage exceeded your expectations. Creating a cosy, welcoming “home away from home” is exactly what we strive for, so it’s wonderful to hear that you felt comfortable and well looked after from the moment you arrived.
It’s lovely that you were able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, from the fishing lake to the countryside walks — and we couldn’t agree more, the animals really do make the farm extra special! We’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to the sheep, alpacas, and of course the baby pygmy goats.
Thank you also for your kind words about us — it was a pleasure having you stay, and we’re so glad you felt both welcomed and free to enjoy the farm at your own pace.
We feel incredibly lucky to have had you as guests, especially travelling such a long distance to visit us. You’ll always have a warm welcome waiting here, and we would absolutely love to see you again one day. Safe travels until then! ✨
Nathan Clarke
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barmston Farm staying in Otter Cottage. Dana and her family could not have been more welcoming, taking time out to make our daughter feel very welcome, including allowing us all to meet their lovely animals. The cottages are cosy, well furnished and comfortable within a short drive from amenities and close to the coast. We had a lovely stay and would recommend to anybody else considering booking. We also had family members staying in Fox Cottage who also enjoyed their stay. Thank you Dana and family!
Response from the owner:Thank you so very much Nathan and family. Your review means the world to us and we are so happy that you all enjoyed your stay. We hope we can host you again soon.
Jim Paterson
Was here last year and again had a great time. Has been some changes for the better due to new owners. Can recommend it and intend to book again for next year.
Response from the owner:We are delighted you enjoyed your stay Jim. Thank you for your lovely review. We are looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Stephen Mannion
Me and friends have been coming here for years, as its such an Idyllic place. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, great accommodation and fabulous fishing this is the place to go. Lovely people, great facilities…. a little hidden gem. Highly recommend
Response from the owner:Thank you so very much for your very lovely review. We loved hosting you and hope to have you back soon.
Jessica Stevens
We have had a fantastic time at Barmston Farm, the farm is very private and quiet and the accommodation is top end luxury. We enjoyed feeding the alpacas, chickens and the cutest sheep. Kids playground and games room are superb. Lake and walks so peaceful and perfect accommodation to unwind in. Our children truely enjoyed getting back to nature and playing with their friends. Also had some fantastic days out, such a beautiful area. We can not thank Dana and Zane enough, for making us feel so welcome and ensuring we had a wonderful holiday. Love from Australia!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your lovely review. We would love to have you back again soon. We are so happy that you and the children enjoyed your stay. Safe travels x

my husband and myself have spent many a happy hour at this holiday spot. but after a change of owner we were worried it would have changed, and boy has it
cottages are beautiful with extra little touches that make it even more pleasurable to be in.
the lake has had considerable work done on it that can only improve the venue
Dana and Zane are welcoming, warm and very friendly. cannot praise this place enough and cant wait to go back. Having been back once , we already have two more holidays booked this year and are looking at next year too. Just hope we can get in

We have visited Barmston Farm on 2 occasions, once in a caravan and last week in Dairy Cottage which is dog friendly. Enjoyed both holidays and accommodation great.

We have just returned from a brilliant long weekend stay at Barmston Farm. The caravans are clean, spacious and well equipped. The surroundings are incredibly safe & I felt at ease letting my 2 children run off to the on-site park which they loved! The outdoor space was our children’s favourite. They had so much room to play. The fishing lake is fantastic! It isn’t open to the public so only residents can fish which means that sometimes, you do get the entire lake to yourself! The whole site is exceptionally well kept & the time & effort they have put in to create this hidden gem is clear to see. Prior to our stay, I did read a review about the road being full of pot holes. Yes, it does have pot holes, as do most off road tracks due to the constant bad weather! You can drive around them!
Thank you all! We really hope to return in the summer!

We are in caravan 4 love the place fishing brilliant . Shower in can the feels like a power shower 2nd time I have been here will come back again and again
Joanne Allen
Absolutely fabulous place. Can't rate it highly enough. My son enjoyed the fishing lake & I loved looking around at the animals. Accommodation is fantastic. High end property. One small (very small) complaint, the double room needs a king size bed. A double bed really is just for one person. Also, needs a shelf in the bathroom for toothpaste & toothbrushes. I can't wait to book again. My son thought it was amazing, having its own private fishing lake that was well stocked.
Alison Todd
Excellent stay whether in a caravan or cottage ,clean and tidy , nearby shops and restaurants
Adrian Wilson
Great place. Great value. Nice chickens.
Mike Todd
Lovely lake and so peaceful fishing spot on
jamie davison
Weve had a lovely little break just the two of us and three grandkids.Theres lots to do on the farm some of the activities are curtailed because of covid but that hasnt stopped them having fun. The caravan was a good size.Theres only five caravans in a horseshoe shape with a small park right next door so the kids had a bit of independence as we could see them from the caravan.We used it as a base and did plenty of exploring. We would certainly come back here again as everyone was lovely and maybe spend a bit longer next time.

Absolutely beautiful cottage, nice and quiet, and so many things to see there!! Highly recommended! (the only reason I would recommend it less is so that I can go back more often! ;))
But truly, definitely worth a stay! It's just like my home back in Wales!

I have fished the lake on several occations and can say without question it is one of the best venues I have ever fished well worth a trip with stunning vuies and outstanding facilities.

Clare Matthewman
We stayed in the otter cottage Monday to Friday. Couldn't have wished for anything better. We had a bit of a problem with the BBQ, Nigel and Fiona was so quick to get it resolved, they paid for a takeaway for us that night and then went and bought a new BBQ for us for the day after.
We've already booked for August Bank holiday weekend.
It's a great place for kids, has chickens, donkeys, llamas, goats, ponies and an emu, which you can buy food to feed them with.
It's a diamond of a place
